If anybody read any part of the thread they would see we were not talking about connecting two computers.
Yeah but what you were asking was "how to control a Win 8 rig from another room". We gave you the appropriate answer, which was also the most cost-effective solution. We're goal-oriented not process-oriented here.
Yea but you should at least read the first post in a thread. Even if just going off the title you should think why would anyone want to use a wireless KVM to control a computer with another computer? And for what I was asking a wireless KVM / VGA extender is the right solution? The only reason I chose to use another computer was because I could get the Chromebook for the same price and use it for other things.
But either way I thank everyone for the suggestions and apologize if I was being a d***.
I think you were clear from the very beginning, if any doubts, post #7 was very specific.
